Recommend syncing any RBS to the RBR wirelessly while having the RBS near by or in same room as RBR.
I'd get a CAT6A STP cable. STP differs from UTP cabling.
Does the front LED turn on PINK for blink when internet seems to drop or the RBR isn't working?
Does this happen with the RBS turned OFF?
Does this happen with both wireless and wired devices?
What channel configurations are currently set on the router?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR📡 and RBS🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wired or wirelessly connected.

Thank you but I am returning. After giving up a day with tech support, their answer was to click one box in settings, which still didn't work. I'm sorry, but at almost $2400 with taxes this should not be this hard. I didn't buy a product to help you develop the hardware. I bought it to work.

Understand. Seems there are some particular ONT brands and models that are having problems with the new Orbi system. Will pass this long to NG and hope it gets fixed soon.
Good Luck.
